CHAMBERSBURG — A 1997 Peterbilt 379, driven by Patrick J. Barney, 58, of Berkeley, W.Va., was traveling south on Interstate 81 when it ran over a tire tread laying on the road at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 5 near milemarker 19.5.

The tire tread then ruptured the diesel tank for the tractor-trailer spilling diesel fuel onto the roadway, Pennsylvania State Police said.
